Not to be confused with Dune, the fragrance from French luxury house Dior that we are all familiar with, is the new addition to its bag repertoire for F/W15, the Dior Dune. And while one’s a scent and the other a bag, there are some similarities, from their softly curved edges to their voluptuous builds. And while the fragrance smells of amber-scented blooms basking by the Granville seashore, all you’ll be getting fromDune the bag will be that heady scent of freshly-tanned leather, which is so sexy in itself, but I digress.

Available in at least 2 sizes for now (23 cm by 16 cm and 29 cm by 19.5 cm), the Duneis in essence a very feminine lady-like sling (and it’s a really long sling too) bag that’s also a tad proper, complete with a leather-bound top handle that’s easy to the touch. Flipping the front flap opens the bag, revealing an interior featuring structured, protruding sides that might hinder the fast removal of its contents if need be.

But that might be the whole point of it (I love how I paint these scenarios in my head), one that is in keeping with Raf Simons’ vision of Dior in a world where women lounge around without a care and take their time in everything they do, from sitting the Dune on their lap and opening the flap ever so carefully to remove a lipstick whilst having tea with girlfriends at the bistro.

Besides exotics in alligator and python, the Dune also comes in grained calfskin, with prices starting from SGD5200. Because if you can afford to sit around a bistro all day with your girlfriends, you can afford this.

The Dior Dune Bag was the latest release for 2015. So we dropped the news as soon as we could with details about the prices.

This bag is different than anything DiOR has made. Perhaps a little bit inspired by the Be Dior Bag, but the experience is totally different, especially the colors. It has also a more curvy shape.

So our friend James bought this bag as soon as she heard the news. She loved the design and how practical it is. The detachable strap is long enough as a messenger or shoulder bag. It has two back pockets too.

Moreover, James shared that the leather is very similar to the Prada Saffiano Leather, but coated so its like patent leather and it’s soft though. (The Saffiano Leather by Prada is the most iconic and famous leather in the world due to its beauty and durability).

The Dior Dune Bag is the next one to watch out for, ladies! This line of fresh, unique bags is part of the label’s Autumn-Winter 2015 show – a grand display of sights and colors. In the spirit of delivering only the best to their loyal customers, Dior is giving us four gorgeous bags, made with only the best types of leather: gold graded alligator skin, latte alligator skin, hand-painted python skin, and plain gold alligator skin. Whatever variation you choose, keep it in mind that this line (like the others) is made with utmost craftsmanship and strict attention to detail. You know what you’re going to get!

All four bags share a distinct structure and design concept – measuring 29cm x 19.5cm x 10cm, the piece is a satchel with double top-handles and an adjustable, removable shoulder strap (which makes it highly versatile). It is also adorned with silver-tone jewellry and leather-wrapped charms – all that shiny stuff in such a classy piece!

For now, there is no information about the bag’s availability and price. Just tune in for more updates about this piece (and other bags) soon!

Update: Dior Dune Bag is currently available in Europe, they’re priced at $4400 CAD for calf leather and $9100 CAD for python leather. Hope this will give you an indication.
